Kaitlyn: It’s not Halloween. Lee: Maybe it is in Fairy Land! Kaitlyn: This is not Fairy Land. Lee: (Stops dancing. Hands over the wand…
The third one is my favorite so far. I love the colors, and how the butterfly stamps contrast without distracting. The story/poem on it says: “Darkest quickly comes the night and hardest brighty burns the light. One and two for counting crows, red and blue for rain’s arced bows.

Tonight is a practice night for the dart league–Wednesday starts playoffs–we play the other Cue Club team. We *need* to win!! I’m still the cute mascot/good luck charm, but next season I’m officially on the team. Which means, I got to practice too. And the boys wiped up the floor with me. Ugh…more practice please!

The sun comes out sometimes here now, almost like it’s really Spring, and in a couple of weeks we’re going to see the cherry blossoms. I’ve always…
….of COURSE I submitted the picture of Jack playing Uno to Stuff on my Cat. He begged me not to, but come on…I couldn’t resist. Could you?
Today is Jason Sizemore’s birthday, founder of Apex Publications and Best Boss Ever. Today is also the five-year anniversary of Apex — my very first publication credit was the essay I wrote for issue 3 back in 2005. How time flies… Jason’s posted a little thank you post over on his blog if you’re so inclined to hop over…

It all started when Dickie told Della that he’d buy her a bottle of Kraken Rum (you should totally check out their website) if she shot Joe in the butt with a dart… That’s my girl.
